. SAN FRANCISCO — Federico Garcia wants Nov. 2 to be the beginning of the end for the Bush Administration. Garcia, 28, is a local student organizer for the group "The World Can't Wait - Drive Out The Bush Regime," which will stage a national walkout on Nov. 2, the anniversary of Bush's reelection. The organizers said they want the event to be a public statement that some Americans are fed up with President Bush and that he should step down as commander-in-chief. The organizers are asking people of all ages to call in sick to work or skip a day of school to take part in what they said is not just another protest. "We do not want three more years of this," said Garcia, who is organizing Bay Area college students from such schools as the University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco State University. "This will give birth to a new movement. We speak for the sentimental millions," Garcia said. "We are asking for students to quit school and throw down with something that will matter." Garcia said after Bush was reelected many people who opposed the president felt demoralized and then demobilized. But Sunsara Taylor, a co-founder of the group, said she would not just sit still and passively disapprove as the president moves the United States toward what she called a "fascist society." Taylor said Bush was an illegitimate president and a dangerous man. "It is not just a symbolic act. We mean it," Taylor said of the walkout. "I think it's highly realistic to see him step down. I think it's less realistic to be able to negotiate with them." Taylor said around 67 cities and 40 college campuses would take part in the walkout. Locally, UC Berkeley and San Francisco State will be meeting grounds for those who want to take part in the event. After a short meeting starting at 10 a.m. at each campus, demonstrators will move to the main noon-time rally at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco.Organizers of mass walkout hope to spur movement against Bush
Colleges and cities across the nation expected to take part

I agree COMMIES SUCK. Maybe the world can't wait though I'm with President Bush. He is a LEADER and is getting more of those Senators and Representatives busy than even they believe. God Bless America, President Bush and All who have worn and will wear uniforms to protect HER.
True, no doubt.
However, may I suggest that you miss the point of this walk out?
The point of this childish event is to make the little darlings feel good -- it's all about feelings -- especially the warm feeling that comes over a person when he feels morally superior. THAT's what this is about.
Call in sick eh?
Lie to your employer.
I see ethics are a top priority with these people... (I know, like ethics are even in the top 100...)
The amazing thing is, they actually expect results... Not too bright...
Morally superior by lying to their employer?
I know, the means don't matter as long as the cause is just... I doubt many if any of them could tell you what the word fascist actually means... Or what NAZI stands for...
These fools don't realize that if they throw out the hawk, the eagle becomes President.
Fry Mumia!
They should think bigger. They should walk out and stay out. Not just a day. Stay out of school until Bush resigns. Hey, if the world can't wait, go to the barricades, kids.
Hey, how did that whole "Not One More Dime Day" work out?The events in L.A. today may ALSO be disappointing to the WCW folks. :o)That was, um, when? I can't seem to remember.
There is NOTHING posted about this at Code Pink: Los Angeles.And there is NOTHING posted about this at ANSWER LA.org.
This isn't the Republic of Georgia is it? This is what George Soros was behind there when their parliment was taken over & forced Shevardnadze out. Read "Newsmax" May 2004.
Yeah, a bowel movement.
Sheesh.....Let them play in the streets.Why can't they schedule these things so folks can get a 3 day weekend...
Oh, wait, these retards do not work......
The activists on OUR side (at least out here in Colley-fornia) will be out supporting the Governator's ballot initiatves -- for the special election NEXT TUESDAY.

I fully understand it's all about feelings but since they were busted their little plan went up in smoke. These were high school students not college students so their ability to leave is a lot more restricted. I used to work with this age group in group homes and it was so much fun to get creative with the natural consequences of their actions.
These girls were going to use their perceived right to protest by walking out however, they are minors and still have to get their parent's permission to leave school grounds. Therefore, since they were going to practice their right to protest then learning what the Constitution really says is the perfect consequence for their behaviors.
Let me clarify: perceived rights = they are minors and have to get permission first

"Elizabeth Baron is considered to be the world’s most documented medium." She said this in her September Newsletter as part of her monthly Message from St. Catherine of Siena:
"It is sad not to be an example to those nations who are trying to believe in democracy. There is so much turmoil in this country that they do not have enough good role models. Try to bring peace by praying and meditating on a daily basis for there are millions in this country who do want peace. No one wants to see someone die. At the same time we all know someone who died to teach us about love and sacrifice."
"Don't they realize that if they drive Bush out Cheney becomes president?"
No. They are just that stupid. No foresight what-so-ever.
12 PM - The rally begins at Federal Plaza, Dearborn and Adams, with a greeting fromStuds Terkel. Columbia College students march in from their 11:00 AM rally at GrantPark, right across the college on Michigan Ave, bringing students from other schoolswith them. Groups will be meeting up at Metra and El stops in neighborhoods andsuburbs around the Chicagoland area, all heading to the Loop and Federal Plaza. Sendin your meet-up to chicago@worldcantwait.org.
Speakers and participants include: Juan Torres, Gold Star father; Standish E.Willis, National Conference of Black Lawyers; Sterling Plumpp, poet; Karen Fiore,pro-choice activist; Samantha Hamlin, Columbia College World Can't Wait; scenes from"Words of Choice," a play on emergency tour of the Red states; Mars, thatrevolutionary sister, poet; and more. Rumor has it that Billionaires for Bush will be raising their objections to our movement.
And, can anyone who can clue us in on the "Billionaires for Bush" gang?
"“People look at all this and think of Hitler – and they are right to do so.”
"
When I see Bush the first thing I think of is Hitler. Beyond the unfasionale mustache they have much in common. I mean those death camps Bush has started in North Dakota and Vermont. His expelling all jews from the US government. His moves to annex Canada, and his brutal invasion of Mexico.
